Hi! I was wondering the legality of what my manager is doing. I work at a coffee place in missouri. My manager is also the owner (she bought/opened it as a franchise) she had been taking our tips whenever there is a mess up. Like we make the wrong drink and it goes to waste however much the drink costs is taken out of our tips. Sometimes she does help out as a barista and covers if someone calls out, or it get really busy. I was wondering if this was legal? Everything I can find says it is illegal but I was wondering that since she also sometimes helps as a barista she would be entitled to some amount of the tips.
